1. ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES
To avoid possible exposure to microwave energy leakage, adjust the door latches and interlock switches, using the following procedure.
ONLY AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL SHOULD MAKE THIS ADJUSTMENT.
The Interlock Monitor and Primary Interlock Switch acts as the final safety switch protecting the user from microwave energy. The terminals between “COM” and “NC” of the Interlock Monitor must close when the door is opened. After adjusting the Interlock Monitor Switch, make sure that it is correctly connected. See Figures
CHECK THE DOOR LATCH AND SWITCH
CLOSINGS.
NOTE: The out case of the microwave oven is removed.
(1)Set the microwave oven on its side so that you can see the latch board and the switches, as shown in
Figure
(2)Close the door tightly and check gaps A and B to be sure they are no more than 1/64” (0.5 mm). See Figure
If all gaps are less than 1/64” (0.5 mm), adjustment of the latch board may not be necessary. Go to Steps 5 and 6 to check the sequence of the switches.
NOTE: To correct sequence of the Primary Interlock Switch, Secondary Interlock Switch and the Interlock Monitor Switch is very important.
If any gap is larger than 1/64” (0.5 mm), you will need to adjust the latch
ADJUST THE LATCH AND SWITCH CLOSINGS
(3)Loosen the screw holding the plastic latch board as shown.
(4)With the oven door closed tightly, move the latch board upward toward the top of the oven and/or away from the door latch until the gaps are less than 1/64” (0.5 mm).
Hold the latch board tightly in this position until you check the sequence of the switches in steps 5 and 6.
TEST THE LATCH AND SWITCH SEQUENCE
(5)Open the oven door slowly. Watch the door latch, the Primary Switch. Release Rod and Lever on the switches to make sure they are zero to the body of the switches in the following sequence:
-Primary Interlock Switch
-Secondary Interlock Switch
-Interlock Monitor Switch
Adjust the latch board until the switches operate in this sequence. See Steps 3 and 4.
(6)Close the oven door slowly and be sure it is tightly closed. Watch the three switches to make sure they are zero to the body of the switches in the following sequence:
-Interlock Monitor Switch
-Primary Interlock Switch
-Secondary Interlock Switch
NOTE: The Interlock Monitor Switch is an added safety check on the Primary and Secondary Interlock Switches. If the Primary and Secondary Interlock Switches allow the oven to operate with the door open, the Monitor Switch will blow the fuse.
(7)When you achieve the proper sequence of switches in Steps 5 and 6, tighten the latch board screws at that point.
TEST THE MICROWAVE ENERGY LEAKAGE
(8)Using a survey meter, make sure the microwave energy is below 5 mW/cm.sq.
